Uruk Hai - comparison

Hi! In one of the forums were I post pictures, I was asked if my Dark Alliance Uruk Hai were compatible with GW's ones.
I happen to have bought second hand minis from GW's Lord of the Rings range, so I took pictures this morning to compare the two ranges. After posting the answer in the forum, I thought this comparison might be interesting for some of you too.

Here you are the result:

Left: Dark Alliance / Right: Games Workshop

The sizes are not so different between the two manufacturers, I must say that I was a bit surprised, but:
- the 1/72 minis are thinner
- the 1/72 minis look a bit taller than they actually are because they have their own base and I didn't remove it
- the pike of the Dark Alliance mini is much smaller - you can hardly call it a pike, but it is ok for fantasy gaming in my opinion

One picture to illustrate this:

By the way, please note that the Games Workshop Uruk Hai were painted as they appear on the pictures when I bought them, it's not my job :)

Hope you find this post useful. Please let me know if you are interested in more minis comparisons or reviews - since PSR does not review Fantasy minis, there may be something to do.

Many Gw figures from lotr Range mix quite good with 1/72 warrioirs. This is the evidence: thanks you and congrats once moré for your works, Phil, not just beautiful but also very illustrating and helpful for many other 1/72 fans!!
